The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A catapult uses the sudden release of stored potential energy to propel its payload.
- Most convert tension or torsion energy that was more slowly and manually built up within the device before release, via springs, bows, twisted rope, elastic, or any of numerous other materials and mechanisms which allow the catapult to launch a projectile such as rocks, cannon balls, or debris.
- During wars in the ancient times, the catapult was usually known to be the strongest heavy weaponry.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Catapult article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
